The president of the Japanese Association for Philosophy, Professor Yasushi Kato, and the chair of the session “Gender Equality, Support for Young Researchers”, Professor Yuko Murakami, invited Professor Ruth Hagengruber, head of philosophy at Paderborn University and director of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, to present her work at the Center and the associated research group within the German Society for Philosophy (DGPhil) “Women in the History of Women Philosophy” in Japan.
